Odd-numbered years usually bring an election respite for most Californians.
That’s not the case in 2025.
On Nov. 4, California voters will decide the fate of Proposition 50, the initiative pushed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that would redraw the state’s congressional districts. Newsom called the initiative a necessary response to partisan redistricting initiated first by Texas Republicans, while Republicans shot back that the plan was “illegal.”
In addition to that, voters in Santa Clara County have two other races to weigh in on; in Alameda County, there’s one extra race.
Here’s what voters should know before Nov. 4:
Prop. 50
On the ballot: Newsom signs Democratic gerrymandering law, sends plan to voters
